Which Should You Buy?
A warm, spicy explosion that's a crowd-pleaser for a reason. While its many flankers might vex some, the original Spicebomb is a reliably potent, compliment-getting winter warmer that'll stand strong in any smoky bar.
SMEL.' Spicebomb echoes Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb's fiery cinnamon-tobacco-leather structure well, but the projection is noticeably tamer than the original's famously explosive sillage.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection and warm, spicy accords make it less suitable for the office. However, it's a stellar choice for dates and evening casual wear, as its seductive nature is often noted by wearers for bars and intimate settings. It leans too casual for formal events and is entirely unsuitable for sport.
Seasons
Warm spice, tobacco and leather feel cosy and rich, better suited to autumn and winter than warm weather.
Occasions
The bold, warm spice-tobacco character suits date nights and casual evening wear over office or sport settings.
